摘要：

The details of mechanical construction and electronic circuitry of a strain gauge system for continuously measuring food and water ingestion in laboratory rats are described. The system has been reliably tested over a number of years. It is eminently suitable for investigating daily rhythms in rat feeding and drinking behavior, where a large volume of data is collected over extended periods of time. © 1979.
